Hey!

It's been a while. I decided not to come back under 'ocean' because things have changed a lot for me. I won't be active on this account anymore, but I thought I should post this here to confirm that yep, it's THAT ocean. As you can tell by the title, I go by wormwoods now. I'm pretty different from who I was back then and have also hopefully improved in a lot of areas. Sorry it took me so long to say hi though--I was dealing with some anxiety that wouldn't let me say much of a hello.

But I figured I should reintroduce myself now that I can! I go by wurm now and I'm non-binary (they/them). I dropped off the planet because skype refused to work on my old computer & also life decided to hit me in the face with a baseball bat. Much better now though.

Most of my TEF ocs still exist, though they're all outside TEF now. I don't plan to bring any of them back for the time being except possibly Priest.

-Amadahy (now called Alma) still exists and is open for RP in human settings. She's got a house in the middle of nowhere.
-Keme (now called Ely) lives in a town near her. He's still a bit of a WIP.
-Inola (Ines) also exists and is undergoing a massive rework from her first concept.
-Priest (still called Priest haha) is being reworked as a monster hunter. He's been causing me problems for years.
-The Fawn was absorbed into a couple different characters; Hlin is sort of the successor to her general concept.
-Lantern no longer exists because I haven't ever reworked him.

I think those were my most active characters? Anyway, if I had it at one point, I probably have it still or it's been recycled into a new concept.

If anyone's interested in RP or just saying hi, I'm wurm#2359 on discord. Please don't be afraid to pop by! It may take me a bit to get back to you but I will. Just a heads up, I struggle a bit with focus so it's hard for me to log into TEF consistently and keep up long RPs. ,_,

I have a TON of human, mostly-human and oh-god-what-is-that ocs now, so if you've been craving some human-ish rp outside of TEF hit me up!

Also, thank you guys for the happy years (AND SO MANY RPs) back when I was a kiddo. I credit TEF with really sparking my love of writing and teaching me how to develop characters. I see you guys continue to be really creative and that's awesome! This place really does suck oldies back in every so often though, doesn't it...

ps. Here's my oc insp tumblr. I had to delete my old tumblr for personal reasons, so I follow from mercurealism. I really like following inspiration blogs if you have 'em too.

Good to hear from you again!

Good to hear from you again!
Hehe, it'll be great to see Priest again too if he pops in sometime. Old Darkbutt is still around, even if he's not been much of a troublemaker the last few years. Nice to see an old face again. XD

Darkbutt! I still have him

Darkbutt! I still have him listed on Priest's known list since he was so influential. p: I've seen you around a bit and was glad to know you (and Dark...) are still kickin'. Priest's just so linked to the forest he's been awful to try and make an outside oc.

Also ty Basen, Echo and Wind! ;v;

=D! Heyyy, I know

=D! Heyyy, I know you.
I'm...actually not surprised that you're wormwoods. Now that you say it, it makes so much sense. ='D
Sadly, I'm not really active like I once was, but I do still linger. >> Always there checking things every day. like a ninja I've been contemplating dusting off Bastilion, too, except games and fanfics pretty much take my time now. As does Youtube, but that's always been a thing.
Sometimes I think of the interactions from back then. Dark, Priest, Bast, Amary, Iendoe...or was Aegel there too...
But those were fun times.

Heyyy Pega! Good to see

Heyyy Pega! Good to see you're still hanging around.
I'm mostly a lurker myself; I love reading people's updates still, haha. Same for me on games though. :'(
It was really fun! Priest was one of my first tries at something a little more complex and I'm still proud of him and all the fun interactions he had. He still remembers Bast and Amary! I think Aegel was there; I believe she was also involved with one of my other characters. Tally too, who I ran into a while back and hope is doing well.

! YOU! I WAS JUST THINKING

!
YOU!
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU THE OTHER DAY
and not even realizing you've been here bc I don't pay enough attention gfdrjhjgh

meanwhile I still have most of my old characters, I couldn't bring myself to let them go

HEY! It was actually your

HEY!

It was actually your post on the Forest Monk's bio (who I was admiring too lol) that made me realize maybe I should say a more formal hello! Plus I've been so inactive on TEF I'm not surprised people didn't notice. p:

Same here! Most of my oldies just came right back if I tried to get right of them, so I gave up trying.

Formerly ocean.

oh you saw that lol I think

oh you saw that lol

I think mostly I just don't expect people that haven't been here in a long time to come back, even though I've seen it happen plenty of times, so if I noticed anything it would be easy to dismiss.

I SUSPECTED FOR SO LOOOOONG

I SUSPECTED FOR SO LOOOOONG Q>Q

Amary -- I DID. I looove

Amary -- I DID. I looove creeping on bios on TEF and such so I often wind up reading a lot of what people post here.
That makes sense btw! Honestly I'm bad with hints too. 8(

Hrae -- Me over here thinking I'm being sneaky, jfc.
GOOD TO SEE YOU ALSO...have definitely crept on your ocs recently. p:
THANK YOU for the warm welcome back (and to all of you guys ;-;). TEF reclaims another oldie's soul...

you kept me guessin', though.

you kept me guessin', though. i could never be totally sure smh..
your creeping sustains me. i nEED. TO JUMP YOUR OCS! i've been meaning to for so long. i'm such a huge chickenshit tho :c now i'm all the more motivated to do it

Sneaaaky. :] That...that

Sneaaaky. :]
That...that sounds like a threat! But by all means, DO IT. I just have the focus of a toddler given far too much sugar. I keep meaning to seek out a bunch of people's ocs myself. Ftt.

Everyone come huck your ocs at me, I've probably crept on their bios anyway.

Been thinking of you. It's so good to have confirmation that it was indeed you. Glad to have you back here. <3 Added you on Discord (lacie#5996). Would be very interesting if The Priest ever came back haha.

Pega -- Don't worry, I've been buried under my own for a few years now. Think there was 60 at last count. Oc hoarder gang unite!

Lacie-- I've been thinking about you too! I'll pop onto discord and add you. ;v;

Fincayra -- Hi Fin! One more to the pile of keen-eyed people...
Alma needs some friends ok she's turning into a sad and bitter old lady at 30.

Kaoori -- Kaoori should wait for that, he's still a jerk. 8(
YOU SHOULD INTERACT WITH MY OCs though...Wink wink, nudge nudge.
